Latonia and Quinlan had already seen Cedric's latest updates on social media, so his return didn't exactly come as a shocker.
Sigrid had conflicts with them, but not Cedric. Even if he did, he still had to spill the beans about his upcoming wedding.
Cedric came back, but didn't immediately lay his cards on the table. The Laurences played dumb and had the servants serve dinner.
They chatted in the living room for a bit, then moved to the dining table. That's when Cedric finally said it, "Mom, Dad, I wanna get married, hope you can help with the prep."
Unlike Bernard, Cedric had his parents around, and they had to deal with this. At least when it came to the wedding prep, they had to show up in person. It was his way of showing respect to Hailey.
He knew this, and that's why he came back to discuss with them. But the Laurences just exchanged a glance, and Latonia was the one who finally broke the silence, "Who's the lucky lady?"
Truth be told, they already had a guess. Cedric had been in a relationship with a woman three years older than him a few years ago. They had been together for around three years. Even after they broke up, they still kept in touch.
He'd got drunk one night and hit Robin Spencer's car, all because of that woman. Later, ended up in the hospital also because of her.
Even though the Laurences didn't stick their noses into these matters, it didn't mean they were clueless. In fact, they knew too much, and they were not exactly over the moon about their son's wedding announcement.
But they'd learned their lesson from the Sigrid saga, and even though she was upset, Latonia put on a friendly face.
Cedric gave Latonia a once over, and could tell his mom was putting on a brave face. "Her name's Hailey, she's the love of my life, and I have to marry her."
After he'd said his piece, he put down his fork and looked at his parents, "You've probably already dug up dirt on her, so don't even bother asking. I'm here today to let you guys know, I'm gonna marry her."
